About this map

Lake Vernon sits at the heart of this prairie landscape in Ward County, surrounded by a complex system of seasonal wetlands and small basins. The northeastern corner of the map is defined by this significant water body, while the southern reaches include the Ward County Waterfowl Production Area. The terrain is characterized by the irregular depressions of the Missouri Coteau, a glacial landscape where drainage is internally focused into numerous small ponds and sloughs.

Transportation throughout the townships is guided by a rigid section-line grid of local roads, such as 233rd Ave SW and 156th St SW, which intersect at regular intervals across the undulating plains. The larger thoroughfares of Co Hwy 22 and Co Hwy 13 provide the primary connections through this rural expanse, which remains focused on conservation and agricultural land use within the boundaries of t152n r85w and surrounding townships.
